Keep them coming chaneman!! I have tested and confirmed your findings. However, the driver is actually galaxold.cpp, not galaxian.cpp. I will put in a fix for this.

Looks like my time spent working with you to resolve these DIP switches over the last few weeks no longer has any value :-( I know it's not technically difficult but it still takes time to look at the issue, resolve and test

@Steve Coomber
Find missing DIP switches in manuals yourself and you can enter your name in the "Assigned To" column.
But thanks for testing and confirming and posting in on GitHub.

NOTE: chaneman has done a great job and should also be rewarded for it !
And not only here but also in MAME's whatsnew.

I agree that chaneman has done a great job. It's a shame you can't put 2 names against 'resolved' as it is a bit of a team effort sometimes. For an example, have a closer look at the messages on the following:

Hey Steve:

My findings don't have to be resolved instantaneously, I am very appreciative that you attack them at the rate you have.
You deserve the credit for the fixes. I am not a coder. I would prefer these unknown DIPS get fixed, than receive any screen credit here.
Seeing that they are actually resolved by anybody is rewarding enough for me.

PS: Please credit yourself back under the Resolved status windows, or have whoever does this do so. I feel weird with my screen name there.
      I prefer to stay on the right side as a Tester only.
 
Thank you to everyone involved.

Thanks for sorting this out, guys. Appreciate that we are all working towards the same goal. Thanks for everyone's efforts!

Just to clarify, only Senior Testers and above can assign bugs to others. It doesn't hurt to verify at the bottom of the bug report as there is an Issue History which can determine who did what.

Hi chaneman. Many thanks for your kind message. I will keep working on these DIP switches with you :-) I would be nice if the MAME testers like you got some credit at least in the whatsnew_xxxx.txt as I know how much time it takes to dig out the relevant information, test and then report the findings on here. I have submitted a fix for this one now.
